Update multiple rows -- detect failure how?

rubyonrails-talk
1

I want to update multiple rows using ActiveRecord#update, especially because params for the table contains just the right data structure for the update method (an array of attribute/value hashes, one per record). But the Rails docs say about this method "... the resulting object is returned whether the object was saved successfully to the database or not."

So how does one test if the update failed?

Inspect the model.errors array?
